BUGS

The 7751 chip starts out at initialization by only supporting compres-
sion. A proprietary algorithm, which has been reverse engineered, is re-
quired to unlock the cryptographic functionality of the chip. It is pos-
sible for vendors to make boards which have a lock ID not known to the
driver, but all vendors currently just use the obvious ID which is 13
bytes of 0.
The 7951, 7955 and 7956 have support for public key operations which are
not yet supported.
